Abstract:

In the recent years, the presence of pharmaceutical products (emerging contaminants) in environment represents the most important environmental concern at world level. Among these environmental contaminants are included the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – NSAIDs, the most relevant therapeutic classes for their analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. The influence of environmental stress factors on both crop and wild plants of nutritional value represents a very important research topic, and understanding the effects of NSAIDs on plant physiological activity and structural modification is limited, especially at environmentally relevant concentrations. Thus, to gain insight into influences of different NSAIDs on plant performance and identify the most promising traits for fast assessment of toxicity, in the present project it is aimed to study the impact of different NSAIDs on performance of the autochthonous green leafy vegetables in the context of monitoring both certain vegetables leaf parameters and the accumulation/contamination level. The proposed objectives of the present project will be achieved by investigating the influence of different NSAIDs on foliage photosynthetic characteristics, monitoring the emission of volatile organic compounds, evaluation of the vegetables leaf anatomy, quantitative evaluation of the photosynthetic pigments, polyphenolic compounds, vitamin C, determination of the antioxidant capacity, and determination of the NSAIDs content accumulated in the vegetables, and soil respectively. Thus, the present project will contribute with information for a better understanding of the adverse effects of these drugs on the environment and awareness a responsible consumption of drugs.

Abstract:

The EnviroAMR project rose awareness on the fact that antibiotics and antimicrobial resistant microorganisms are considered novel classes of pollutants in the environment with major consequences on the health of humans, animals and plants. The EnviroAMR project has proposed a methodological guide for a standardized monitorization of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in the environment through a chemical and biological (phenotypic, genotypic, metagenomic) approach together with techniques of antibiotics/antibiotic resistance mitigation in wastewaters.

Abstract:

The seasoning plants (spices) are ingredients that, added to food and drinks give the flavor, taste and color, without having nutritional value. Due to their uses in medicine and cosmetics, it is important to know their composition and how it is affected by external factors (electromagnetic radiation, drought, and other types of stress). Among these plants, we selected three for our study: Anethum graveolens, Petroselinum crispum and Apium graveolens, rich in volatile oils and antioxidants (especially vitamin C).
The general objective of the project is the effects determination of microwave fields on volatile oils, vitamin C and secondary metabolites of some indigene plants. Within this objective will consider the following specific objectives: 1. Preparation of system for microwave irradiation of the plants considered for the study; 2. Selection of extraction methods for bioactive compounds analyzed from the seasoning plants considered for the study; 3. Monitoring changes of vitamin C amount from the irradiated plants compared to the reference plants; 4. Monitoring of the essential oils composition changes, from the irradiated plants compared to the reference plants; 5. Tracking BVOC variation in microwave stressed plants with different frequencies and powers; 6. Monitoring changes occurred in BVOC from the irradiated plants compared to the reference plants; 7. Concluding of the chemical and structural changes from irradiated plants.

Abstract:

Problema alimentelor funcţionale cu componente bioactive de origine naturală este mai mult decât actuală pentru industria alimentară. Activitatea antiradicalică şi antimicrobiană a extractelor vegetale, bogate în polifenoli, reprezintă o sursă promiţătoare de soluţii alternative pentru utilizarea lor în scopul substituirii anumitor conservanţi alimentari de origine sintetică. Prezenţa antioxidanţilor naturali poate preveni apariţia unor boli legate de stresul oxidativ, prezentând efecte generale de protecţie şi ameliorare a sănătăţii. Obiectivul general al prezentului proiect constã în valorificarea complexă a resurselor şi deşeurilor agricole în scopul realizării unor produse sanogene, îmbogăţite cu antioxidanţi, substanţe cu molecule sensibile al cãror efect biologic poate fi afectat atât de condiţiile de fabricaţie şi păstrare a alimentelor, cât şi de cele din tractul gastro-intestinal. Rezultatele cercetărilor vor contribui la producerea unor alimente funcţionale, capabile sã diminueze impactul stresului oxidativ şi alergiilor nutriţionale, contribuind la integrarea conceptului de alimentaţie sanogenă şi la sporirea competitivităţii întreprinderilor locale. Proiectul înglobează şi importante aspecte educaţionale. Astfel, cercetătorii şi doctoranzii implicaţi în realizarea prezentului proiect, îşi vor antrena şi perfecţiona aptitudinile şi competenţele profesionale, proiectul propus vizând şi îmbunătăţirea calitãţii ştiinţifice a resursei umane.
